Description Mark Janes 2019-02-06 18:40:12 UTC
This test regressed with:

ef99f4c8d176f4e854e12afa1545fa53f651d758
Author:     Kenneth Graunke <kenneth@whitecape.org>

compiler: Mark clip/cull distance arrays as compact before lowering.

nir_lower_clip_cull_distance_arrays() marks the combined clip/cull
distance array as compact.  However, when translating in from GLSL
or SPIR-V, we were not marking the original float[] arrays as compact.

We should do so.  That way, we can detect these corner cases properly.


-------------------------------

FWIW, this test is listed as previously fixed by
3b804819650cc943fcd4cccedd140e4b27fbf993

Patch seems unrelated, so it was possibly fixed by some patch just before it.
Comment 1 Kenneth Graunke 2019-02-07 02:40:23 UTC
I looked into this for a few hours today, it's unfortunately a bit more complicated than I'd hoped.  My patch is correct, it's just exposing a pre-existing issue.

That test has a single SPIR-V module containing multiple shader stages.  When compiling that module, we generate shader inputs and outputs for every stage...in a NIR shader targeting a particular shader stage.  So, we suddenly have VS output variables in a TCS.  The TCS expects outputs to be per-vertex arrays (or marked patch).  VS outputs are not.  So, they are illegal in a TCS.

In particular, there is a gl_PerVertex output variable for another stage in the TCS, which is being structure split, giving us top-level output for clipdist[x] and culldist[x].  But in a TCS, those would need an extra dimension - dist[x][y].  The validator tries to enforce that variables marked 'compact' must be arrays, and after unwrapping the per-vertex IO array dimension, it sees simply 'float', which is rightly illegal.

I'm testing a patch to remove dead input/output variables at the end of spirv_to_nir(), which should eliminate the invalid ones before the validator ever sees the shenanigans.  Jason recommended this, and we take a similar approach already in some cases.

spirv: Eliminate dead input/output variables after translation.

spirv_to_nir can generate input/output variables which are illegal
for the current shader stage, which would cause nir_validate_shader
to balk.  After my recent commit to start decorating arrays as compact,
dEQP-VK.spirv_assembly.instruction.graphics.module.same_module started
hitting validation errors due to outputs in a TCS (not intended for the
TCS at all) not being per-vertex arrays.

Thanks to Jason Ekstrand for suggesting this approach.
